Top Fashion Photographers of All Times

Fashion is the most changeable thing and at the same time it is the most regular. Every year brings us new fashion trends, but every decade brings back the trends of the previous years and makes them popular again. Fashion photography covers the fashion world and all the changes that take place in it. When you browse the portfolios of the most famous photographers you can observe the chronology of design trends and find out their peculiar features. On the other hand, the works of some well-known photographers influence the design trends in the sphere of world fashion greatly. The style of each famous photographer is unique and can’t be mixed up with anyone’s else style. This post features the most effective and well-known fashion photographers of all times (from my point of view) and some of their works. Of course, you can argue the choice and the list of photographers, but in any case all of them are undoubtedly great.

Who haven’t heard about Helmut Newton? “Prince of Porn”, “King of Kink”, “The First” – the list of epithets that are used when we speak about him is endless. We can talk for a long time about him, but words are useless when we look at his magnetizing works…

When we speak about iconic fawhion photographers, the name of Steven Meisel comes first. All Vogue Italia’s covers feature his mind-bending works. And it is a well-known fact that all models aspire to work with him.

He was the one who brought emotions in the world of fashion photography. You can easily notice that his works are vibrant, they capture the personality and soul of the models, their characters and emotions. Great photographer with huge creative potential!

Of course, you remember her portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but it is not the only work she is famous for. For many years she is known as the successful photographer of celebrities. Provocative, memorable, bright – all her works are worth attention.

His success in the fashion and commercial photography is undoubtful. His portfolio features the most effective reflection of the modern era – the iconic celebrities. Speaking about his style, it can be defined as the well-done mixture of various genres.

He knew everything about celebrities. His works could tell a lot about a person depicted in it. His later fashion works are noticeable for the much attention given to the accessories and the clothes of the models.

haha i knew it wasn’t hisss work! i looked at his pictures, and it seemed like he usually cut off the tip top of the model’s head..and this one had a clear view of everything…(: one of my goals is to be on this list someday..!

I just so love all of them, and worked with Newton and Avedon back in the 1980′s: it was a true creation of Art, never a sensation to be shooting some endorsement’s job! At the contrary, the almost overbearing feeling, to be responsible of the quality of the photo shoot, since those artists always had our image in that moment, at the center of their Universe, a mysterious, almost vibrating pulse of freedom to be, while being interpreted by a magic eye who was always also part of a clever sensibility to envision the World, as a manifesto of its own time, and not just a pure marketing scope, as they tell me it is today…
